Welcome

the Clinic
Hello, I’m Shai Spitzen, an online therapist
I am a clinical social worker and a graduate of the three-year program in sex therapy and couples and family therapy at the Rotem Center and Hadassah Hospital. I work with individuals, couples, and polyamorous relationships online.
In my view, therapy is a collaborative process with clearly defined goals for change, toward which we move together. In this sense, all therapy is relational therapy – work on our relationship with ourselves and on our relationships with others.
Online Therapy
In my view, online therapy offers a flexible and accessible approach for anyone seeking emotional support. For people living abroad, in remote areas, or with demanding schedules, online therapy provides a highly suitable solution.
Online therapy makes it possible to deliver professional, high-quality therapeutic services to those who need them, allowing for continuity of care without dependence on physical distance.
Over the years, I have studied a wide range of therapeutic approaches and selected several core methods, which I integrate in my work –
CBT
Relational Psychodynamic Therapy
EFT
Couples Therapy
Differentiation Based Therapy
Narrative Therapy
I believe that effective therapy adapts the therapeutic approach to each individual and to the specific challenges they are facing. In therapy, we learn to become familiar with ourselves and with the inner voices that shape our experience, with the aim of transforming the internal dialogue. We define therapeutic goals, explore the factors that gave rise to our patterns and inner dynamics, understand what they originally served, and identify ways to change them.
Together, we explore how to improve both the inner dialogue and external behavioral patterns. This is an inner process that often also involves behavioral work, all with the goal of understanding what influences our experience and fostering genuine, meaningful change in life.
In couples therapy, the work is similar, with the addition of learning to recognize the mutual influences between partners, to differentiate each partner’s responsibilities, and to communicate needs and difficulties between partners in a clearer and more effective way.
